Traffic Load and Internet Speed Problems of Content Servers in Livestream Broadcasts
To understand the benefits of TCP Accelerator solutions in real-time streaming video distribution, it is useful to first examine the issues of system management and network performance. Today, IT management of channels broadcasting FullHD and UltraHD such as WEB TV, PayTV, and IPTV compress the video. The required speed for Full HD is considered to be 5 Mbps in system management, but due to the investment costs and the performance/profit/loss equation, system administrators have to compromise standards in the real world so the speed can drop to 2 Mbps for FullHD. Let`s assume that the bandwidth dedicated to the Streaming Video Server is 1 Gbps. With a 1 Gbps/2 Mbps calculation, a maximum of 500 customers could be served with this server, but we know that things do not work like that in the real world. Even if the processor capacity of the Streaming Video server is sufficient, the connection capacity will limit the speed.
The internal traffic load in a data center is on average 60-70% of the full network capacity. Data center traffic that provides streaming video service is pure, but when internet networks are accessed, the bandwidth capacity cannot be used 100% because there are millions of people using the network and QoS guaranteed traffic on the network. It may be desirable to use it, but it is better not to use it, otherwise, if everyone uses 100% of the bandwidth capacity, QoS performance in network traffic would be lost. If we accept that the system administrators who do not want to disrupt the QoS performance use 70% of the bandwidth network capacity, 350 customers can be served per server according to this capacity, but if we accept that 70% of the available capacity is used for 1-to-1 protection and other risk factors in general, 250 customers can be served per server. System administrators do not prefer to run the server at this performance so as not to strain the processor capacity and cooling systems. However, let`s say we have 250 clients with 1 Gbps dedicated bandwidth per server, and all of these clients come home in the evening to watch a “Livestream” movie or a football match. The result is that the system will overload, the broadcast will be broken, it will freeze, and it will be interrupted.
